Love & Other Drugs (2010)
Based on a non-fiction book this romantic comedy from director Edward Zwick stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. A drug rep that is a serial charmer falls in love with a cynical yong woman that has Parkinson's disease.
The plot of this film could really have done with a little trimming, it pretends to be about the Viagra revolution but that is barely a side issue in what is pretty much a standard romantic comedy. Coming from a genre that is known for it's predictability, largely stupid plots and overly sentimental tone this film does at least manage to ignore most of those pitfalls even if there is room for a little trimming on the run time. As to what the film does well it is hard to find a lot to praise beyond Anne Hathaway getting naked a bunch, otherwise this is an average effort.
3/5
